I would have gotten the answer right! There are many people who don’t have formal education but they can read and write. Do you call them “illiterates”? NO! So, illiteracy is when a person cannot read and write at all
Sonnobax15: You can bar the case but will that stop Natasha's waist from making beautiful movements before the very eyes of our honourable senate president alias the konji master?
I never knew that telling a woman that her waist is making beautiful movement is a crime
Your eyes don see something...pepper...gist me small, please.
Not at all! I have never had any bad experience with girls cos of my selective/careful nature, I’m learning from many other people’s experiences online and offline. I can’t make their kind of mistake
I am a single guy thinking of getting married soon but some of the ladies I am considering having a serious relationship that may lead to marriage with are not virgins. This came as a surprise to me as I thought it will be easy to find a virgin to settle down with.
Should I try to focus on finding the one with best character and settle with or I should continue with my search to find a virgin?
I understand marriage is more than virginity but I am just wondering.
Looking forward to your responses.
Thanks
If you can’t get a virgin do not waste money on any bitch in the name of marriage! You can have one or two as baby mama(s). Don’t legally marry any non virgin unless you were the one who deflower her. You will still get a virgin sooner or later then you can marry! NB: This is also what I’m planning to do myself! This generation girls are not trustworthy.
neolboy: This is my life story I am sharing my experience here about marriage life, some of you might call me a Simp or weakling but need to share it for those who asked me to share it when I write on a topic about what i regretted so far in 2025, was getting married last year December and ending it this Year January will pick one or two things from my story.
I met this girl 2023 through a mutual friend, we became an acquaintance and later start dating. She is from Delta state likewise myself, she comes from Ndokwa west specifically Kwale by tribe. In 2024 i proposed to her, by May I went to see her family while she came to meet mine also.
Early September i asked her family for the traditional list. We both agreed for traditional marriage and court wedding, After collecting the list we start planning towards the traditional marriage which was fixed on December 29 on a Sunday afternoon. That faithful day, i went with my people to pay the bride price and other things, and the court wedding was fixed on January 17.
January 7th, we were together discussing but something strange happened, her phone rang and i saw her going outside to answer some calls, after sometimes she came back inside not composed. I asked her what the problem was but she downplayed it and told me it was nothing, but i was not comfortable, after a while her phone rang again, it was her brother's wife calling her and asking her if she has told me about the pregnancy. I was shocked and asked her what pregnancy is she talking about.
Here comes the shock of my life, i discovered that she was some weeks pregnant, I asked her who got her pregnant, to my surprise, it was her ex boyfriend. I was enraged, mad and furious, something was whispering into my ear to go into the kitchen take a knife and stab her. Luckily for me, my younger sister called me at that moment, if not i don't know what i would have done to her. Because it was late i left the house for her.
In the morning, i came back, she was already in tears crying and asking me for forgiveness. I told her to leave my house, I picked up my phone call all her family members, called mine also. Her family were trying to persuade me to forgive her but i told them it was unforgivable. My family asked for the refund of the bride price which was later refunded after they discovered that i did not bulge to their request of accepting her back.
It was a painful moment and a painful experience too, but i was able to pull through by the help of my family members some friends.
It was a long story i had to cut it short. It is my life story
Moral lesson: Do pregnancy test even on the day you are to tie the knot, do not trust to the extent of ignoring little things.
Extra: The guy who got her pregnant was aware and even told the girl's sister that his property with them he is coming in future to collect it. Na so I for dey look after another man's property
That is why I have made up my mind that I will NEVER pay bride price or think of settling down with/marrying a woman who hasn’t given birth to at least 2 children for me and I confirm through many means that they are mine. NEVER!
My question is; why didn’t she made that accusation when it happened? Why did she wait until they have seat change issue before she voice out? I’m not in support of anybody but I know women can be very manipulative!
Drama recently unfolded between in-laws when the bride's family from Mbaise demanded a whopping ₦1 million as bride price. This hefty demand sparked a heated debate, with some youths from the groom's side shouting "We Are Not Marrying Again!" in their native Igbo language.
The bride price demand was part of the traditional marriage rites, which typically involve the groom's family presenting gifts to the bride's family. However, the amount demanded by the bride's family was unusually high, leading to the disagreement.
It's worth noting that the issue of high bride prices in Mbaise has been a topic of discussion in the past. Some have argued that the practice discourages potential suitors from marrying women from the area.
However, others have defended the tradition, stating that the value of a woman cannot be measured by the bride price.

Stepout23: Education is one of the biggest investments parents make for their children, and in Nigeria, the debate between private and public schools is always ongoing. Many parents believe that private schools offer better quality education, improved facilities, and a stronger academic foundation, but the high cost often raises the question: Is it really worth it?
Advantages of Private Schools ✅ Smaller Class sizes: More attention for each student ✅ Better Facilities: Access to modern classrooms, libraries, and tech tools ✅ Quality Teachers: Some argue that private school teachers are more committed ✅ Extracurricular Activities: Exposure to robotics, coding, arts, and sports ✅ Parental Involvement: More structured communication with parents
Challenges of Private Schools ❌ Expensive Tuition: Some schools charge millions per year ❌ Not Always Better: Some private schools focus more on profit than education ❌ Pressure on Kids: High expectations can sometimes stress students ❌ Social Exposure: Less interaction with students from different backgrounds
The Public School Reality Public schools, though more affordable, often face issues like overcrowding, inadequate infrastructure, and teacher shortages. However, some federal government colleges and top public schools still provide quality education.
What Do You Think? Are private schools worth the cost in Nigeria? Have you had a great experience with a public school? Should the government do more to improve public education? Let’s discuss! Drop your thoughts below! 👇🏽
If you have the financial capacity to send your children to private school, look for a sophisticated one I.e, one with those advantages you highlighted (many private schools in Nigeria are not sophisticated) and train your children there! If you don’t have, or you know you will be over stressed to be able to do so, send them to public school. Most of the times it’s not about the institution but about the child ability and willingness to learn/study. Some public school students does better than their private school counterparts academically!
I studied in public schools but I taught in private school for eight years. I have taken my student (private) to organized competitions (public/private), there’s no too much difference
RealityKings1: Honestly, it would be better to use that advantage and relocate to Europe... Just make sure it's another place apart from this continent.
This is serious, the picture is at the bottom of this post.
My friend got injured by broken bottles and a solar battery that hit his leg. Ever since then, these minor injuries have been expanding. He has admitted to me just now that he's got sickle cell, he had started with injections amd I was terrified that he wasn't taking any pills. When I arrived, he was already complaining of pains...
We switched to just pills few days ago, and he is still complaining of pains and stomach ache. The wounds remove pusses from time to time. The last time he had an injury at that same spot, it took a little over a year before it healed — that was when I advised he take a break from work and go treat himself.
Now, he's always complaining of pains, stomach ache (he believes it's from the pills he's taking), and not being able to walk (although it's gotten a little better).
Please what do you suggest? Doctors in the house. I brought it here on this section because it has a huge traffic. Note that he's been to plenty of hospitals when he had that first injury but it only got worst...
Why wasting time and money on pills?
Put towel inside hot water, close eye and press that thing morning and evening, you will thank me after a week. that’s the most effective remedy for any injury apart from emotional or spiritual injury!
Mynd44: I have heard Nigerians use "bride Price" and "Dowry" interchangeably and they seem to think they are the same. People just assume the bride price is the dowry or that they mean the same thing but this is a wrong assumption.
I knew this in Social Studies when I was in Primary 5 and it shocks me when people who I think went to school around the same time (not the current era where I don't understand the curriculum) make the same mistake. Perhaps people just think because they are both possessions and gifts exchanged around the time of a wedding they mean the same but nah. They are very distinct things.
So here is the major difference
From the definition above
1. Bride Price is given to the family of the bride by the groom and/or his family and this is mostly set by the Bride's Family.
2. Dowry is the property or money given to the bride by her family when she marries and she takes these things to her marital home.
In some cultures, Dowries cannot be sold by the couple as it is wealth that passes through only the female line so only the bride's daughter can inherit them. Thats why you see where some families have jewelry that their great grandmother used and a female descendant still wears it. It can even be shares of a company etc.
There has been cases in India and Northern Nigeria called "Dowry theft" in these cases, they grooms family (mostly committed by the groom's family) tries to convert the properties of the bride and steal them. I know India had to pass legislation against it. Sometimes, the husband himself tries to steal these possessions.
Note also that in a divorce, the husband cannot lay claim to the dowry as these are personal gifts and are mostly acquired before marriage so are outside the purview of shared items.
In Nigeria, dowries can include, Kitchenware, livestock, land, jewelry and in some parts of the north, the father actually buys furniture.
Note that Dowry is not wedding gifts given to the couple. These are gifts for the two of them.
My question is; What does the man (groom) stand to benefit from the wedding? Or is it a crime to gift the groom items as well (aside his friends and others?
Nigerian man sparks online debate after sharing his family drama in an anonymous post through social media influencer @Wizarab.
According to his account, he revealed his sister’s repeated infidelity to her husband, a man who had played a pivotal role in his own financial stability and supported their family extensively.
Two things or either of the these two things warrant this; 1. Her infidelity 2. Sharp mouth (stubbornness) This gender can push a man to the wall and later play the victim. Trust them at your own risk
I have never gotten all the salary amount my employer pays me every month! Union bank must surely take their share as if I had an agreement with them to be deducting any money that enters my account every month
